This Rollup includes a large number of enhancements and fixes, including the following:
- A new s_startServers context variable, used to customize the number of child processes created by Oracle HTTP Server on startup
- Apache access_log now logs the amount of time taken by Oracle HTTP Server to serve
- Enhancement allowing the use of the JConsole tool to locally monitor Apps 11i JVMs. This feature is backported from Release 12. You can find out more on enabling remote monitoring in this blog article.
- Enhancements to the URL Firewall to allow iPayment servlet access for customers deploying the Oracle Lease Management (OKL) product as an external application.

- Enhancement to log files (stderr and stdout) to include JVM startup timestamps

Hello Steven,
Thanks for the update.
Have a small query, i see you have mentioned "Enabled adbldxml.pl to run on Solaris SPARC 64bit"
I remember that i have run adbldxml.pl on Solaris SPARC 64bit earlier also without problems.
Is there a bug fix which this patch covers in this regard or am i missing something.
Sam

Steven,
From features listed in the README.TXT for the patch is the following:
>> 10. Fixed Autoconfig failure that happened when customers ran autoconfig in
parallel on multiple middle tiers with Jserv load balancing enabled.
Does that means that it is supported to run autoconfig in parallel mode for any previous version except cfg-s with Jserv LB?
Can you point to the doc or clarify this question for us?
As autoconfig runs takes up to 20 min in some configuration and having 6-8 nodes brings us to 2 hours just to run it in serialized mode.
Thank you in advance,
Jurijs

Hi, Jurijs,Here's the scoop to date: running AutoConfig in parallel is theoretically supported, although our testing of this in large-scale deployments has been somewhat limited. I would recommend testing this yourself in testbed environment before trying this in a multinode production environment. We would be interested in hearing your feedback on this in your environments. If you encounter anything unusual, please drop me a line with the Service Requent number and I'll have ensure that our AutoConfig development team gets engaged directly.Regards,Steven

Thank you for your response.
I'll definitely will give you know if we will face any problems running autoconfig in parallel.
I have posted your response to ora-apps-dba@freelists.org (~250 members).
I hope all together we will get the final answer.
